The group comprises internal and external champions of the engineering and computer science worlds who believe that the university plays an important role in producing the next generation of professionals.

Made up of industry leaders, accomplished Concordia alumni and current faculty members, the board will support Amir Asif, dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science in developing and executing his strategy. It will provide a critical link to the external community and facilitate dialogue about key initiatives.

“We are very excited to welcome these 14 exceptional people into the ENCS family,” Asif says.

“By sharing their views on industry practices and needs, they will help us take our degree programs and research partnerships to the next level.”
